Police allege the [case] revealed a human trafficking ring that operated out of three homes and used a hair salon as a front to receive calls from customers and arrange transactions involving sex with young girls for money.
Since September, vice detectives have been working with Canada Border Services Agency, investigating the operation and monitoring Alternative Hair Design at 4105 4th St. N.W.
Undercover officers were offered two teenage girls from China for sale at $5,000 each, police say. The victims, who were sold to the undercover police for $8,000, were actually 25 and 41 years old.
"It's a shocking thing to see humans traded for money, and for a relatively low amount of money," said Supt. Roger Chaffin.
"There's lots of money to be made and there's no limit on lowered morality, the fact that you could sell people for profit," said Chaffin.
